Impact and importance of DAZN and/or ESPN on boxing

Those two shows plus ProBox TV, are where I get my fights. So to me, yes, they are important. Isn't ProBox on Amazon?

Netflix and Amazon got gazillion content producers/sellers. Many of them are just dabbling in the film industry producing senseless horribly-made movies/films. But they still make their way into these streaming services. So if you have 3 or 5 phones with cameras and have very little experience in making movies, but with good editing skills, try making one and it got a good chance of landing on one of these streaming services. Netflix and Amazon will buy anything. TBH, I didn't see Showtime exiting boxing. I certainly didn't see DAZN producing fight cards on a weekly basis. I thought their spending spree is over. Now that they're beginning to prove they're in it for the long haul, I can be optimistic, albeit cautiously, boxing will go on and DAZN becoming an important player in the sport.

I feel one of them will exit boxing all together. If even one of the two leaves then boxing is a major major trouble! hopefully it doesn't happen but it's just that the ratings are not there and the networks make very little money on boxing if any because the boxers are demanding too much ridiculous purses

True. I won't be surprised if ESPN exits boxing too. Boxing plays second fiddle to ESPN just like in the FNF days. TSN covered FNF and now TR Boxing, but it's annoying to see ESPN let finish US football or baseball while boxing is already in progress. ESPN don't care much about boxing. It’s become a niche sport sadly. Boxing will likely be relegated to just the streaming apps in the future I reckon.

Boxing is sort of an afterthought on ESPN IMO. They don’t view it as a key asset like the NBA. True. I won't be surprised if ESPN exits boxing too.

It doesn't have to be DAZN. But it's the only chance of having all promoters come together so that subscribers only have one subscription for all boxing contents. It's a streaming service, content provider, producer and buyer. Meaning, it's not owned by Matchroom, GBP, Paul company, etc. Any promotional company can be in it and provide contents. That's what Netflix, Amazon are all about. Buy or produce contents. They're nothing without contents. Netflix and Amazon got gazillion content producers/sellers.

They just haven’t been able to secure the mainstream sports yet in the US/UK. I’m sure if they had the NFL or EPL, boxing would fade into the background. The days of boxing being mainstream are long gone I think. We’ve gone from the glory days of HBO to the network that generally showed second tier guys on Friday Night Fights and a streaming app.

Why is the plural of entity still being censored? Any other equivalent for it?
